please oh please someone give us guidance.
right now guys are in our place installing prodigy 7" insulated vinyl siding. Our old siding is WAY past its prime. It's cheap builder's quality planks that are sort of porous with the paint peeling. We had the worst portion of the siding replaced last year, and the substructures also had to be replaced due to moisture.
our guy is now installing the insulated vinyl siding directly on top of the old siding. I thought he was going to remove the old siding, put up a new vapor barrier, and then the new siding. no dice.
he says it's fine to do it his way. Is he right? my gut instinct is no.
I just issued a stop work order. Idiotically, our contract doesn't specify either method of installation, so I think I'm up the creek as far as contractual obligations are concerned.
please advise!!!!!
